第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Free solo climbing is a risky form of rock climbing where the climber makes the climb alone without ropes or any other protective things.In June 2017，Alex Honnold completed an ultimate free solo climb up El Capitan，a 3，000﹣foot wall in Yosemite National Park.
On a freezing November morning in 2016，Alex determined to take up a challenge﹣a free solo climb of the world's most famous vertical（垂直的）cliff.Every step，he had to be extra careful to keep the balance.All the turn he had to shine his headlamp on the cold，smooth part of stones to decide where he could next place his foot.Unlike parts of the climb higher up that Alex could climb with his strong fingers，this lower part must he managed with a perfect balance of fine skills and confidence.
Every move tied people's hearts.The cameraman said. "Every time I got no response，I thought Alex was bailing.But it turned out that I was wrong﹣He was still moving out."
More physically challenging parts wait for him to climb up with his feel and hands pressing the rock.The Freeblast is the most frightening part.In 2016，after several failures，Alex knew he would try again.His foot tap﹣tap﹣tapped against the wall as if he was feeling his way into the huge rock，but he wouldn't turn back this time.And then，he stood on the top and he made it!
People view free soloing differently.Critics regard it as risky，considering the long list of those who've died attempting it.Others，myself included，recognize it as the sport's truest expression.Such was the attitude of Austrian climber Paul Preuss，the father of free soloing.He believed that the spirit of mountain﹣climbing was to master a mountain with wonderful physical and mental skill.
21.Why is the headlamp mentioned in paragraph 2？
A.To prove how dark the environment is. B.To indicate how risky the free soloing is.
C.To share the great pleasure of a solo climber. D.To introduce the location of the mountain climber.
22.What does the cameraman mean by saying "Alex was bailing" in paragraph 3？
A.Alex was climbing. B.Alex was giving up. C.Alex was struggling. D.Alex was being saved.
23.What does Alex's experience in 2016 aim to tell readers？
A.A great dream is limitless. B.Wisdom is better than force.
C.Gains can't make up for losses. D.Strong will leads to a smooth path.
B
A rare wild flower is being re﹣established in Devon fields thanks to some four﹣legged helpers.A conservation charity called Plantlife has employed donkeys as"ecosystem engineers"to encourage the return of the endangered small﹣flowered catchfly.
The catchfly was once found all across Britain but now it only grows in small areas of Wales and the south and west of England.Experts blame its decline on modern farming practices.The flower flourished around the edges of sandy fields where farmers grew their crops，but because of weedkillers that were used to remove"unwanted"plants，and fertilisers to boost crop yields，its habitat has largely disappeared.
Plantlife teamed up with the Donkey Sanctuary，a charity that looks after donkeys in the UK and around the world.It owns several farms across Devon and the UK，where it takes care of hundreds of rescued donkeys，as well as maintaining habitats for other wildlife.More than 20，000 seeds have been scattered on fields at the sanctuary's main Devon farm，and it is hoped that many will grow into plants this summer.They will provide food for threatened bird species such as linnets，yellowhammers and skylarks.Plantlife then aims to get the donkeys themselves involved，testing whether catchfly seeds benefit from being trampled into the ground as the donkeys take their exercise.Many plants have seeds that must be pressed into the soil in order to germinate.
"We're incredibly grateful to partners like the Donkey Sanctuary who are helping these fantastically rare wild flowers come back from the edge of extinction，"Cath Shellswell of Plantlife told The Guardian newspaper."We look forward to seeing small﹣flowered catchfly return and we are working with the sanctuary to ensure that this tiny plant has a thriving future."
24.Why are donkeys employed in Devon fields？
A.To work in the fields. B.To restore the catchfly. C.To avoid extinction. D.To raise crop yields.
25.What caused the decline of the catchfly's population？
A.Soil loss. B.Water pollution. C.Climate change. D.Modern agriculture.
26.How do donkeys help the catchfly come back？
A.By pressing its seeds into the soil. B.By working the land.
C.By providing nutrition for it. D.By spreading its seeds.
27.What is the best title of the passage？
A.Donkeys help fields flower again. B.Farmland becomes a natural habitat.
C.The biodiversity forms on Devon farms. D.The catchfly has a thriving future.

Swimming is a wonderful thing for me﹣ exercise，reflection and alone time.The only thing that can ruin a swim is when I shift my attention from my lane to what's happening in the lanes next to me.I can catch myself racing the person next to me，or comparing our strokes.
Comparison is actually not an emotion.Researchers explain that comparing the self with others，either intentionally or unintentionally，is a common social phenomenon.
Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other﹣ ﹣it's trying to be like everyone else，but better.When we compare ourselves with others，we are ranking around a specific collection of "alike things".I'm not swimming against Katie Ledecky's times.I'm just interested in the stranger in the lane next to me.When we compare，we want to be the best of our group.It's not be yourself and respect others for being genuine，but to win.I want to swim the same workout as you，and beat you at it.
In general，however，social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear，anger，shame and sadness.
Here's what makes all of this really tough：Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us.More often than not，we don't even know we're doing it.This lack of awareness can lead to us showing up in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.
So we get to choose how we're going to let it affect us.My new strategy is to look at the person in the lane next to me，and say to myself，as if I'm talking to them， "Have a great swim." That way，I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well，and return to my swim.So far，it's working pretty well.
28.What do we know about comparison？
A.It is nothing but an emotion. B.It is trying to be the true self.
C.It is to be different and be the best. D.It is to fit in and meanwhile to win.
29.What may be the author's attitude to social comparison？
A.Critical. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Favorable.
30.What is the feature of social comparison in the eyes of many psychologists？
A.Its unavoidability. B.Its emotional influence. C.Its uncertainty. D.Its cultural root.
31.Why is swimming frequently mentioned in the text？
A.To present a social perspective on a sport issue.
B.To use it as an example to support an opinion.
C.To describe the right process of solving a problem.
D.To show love for sports with a personal experience.

You may think your dog likes you more than it does Dog owners tend to overestimate the bond they have with their pets，which could have implications for preventing dogs from roaming （walking） far from home or attacking other animals.
"As caregivers，we need to develop better bonds with our dogs，not only for our own well﹣being and the dogs well﹣being，but also for nature，" says Lorena Saavedra﹣Aracena at the University of Magallanes，Chile.
Previous research has shown that unsterilized （未杀菌的） male dogs and undernourished dogs tend to roam longer distances，but tis isn't always the case.Saavedra﹣Aracena wondered if the dogs attachment to their caregivers also played a role，so she ana her colleagues equipped 41 free﹣roaming pet dogs with GPS colIars，tracking their journeys on Navarino Island in southern Chile for about 3 weeks.
Although most of the dogs stayed within a 200﹣meter radius（半径） of home，Some travelled up to 28 kilometres away.One even swam in a near﹣freezing canal for an hour while chasing native water birds ，says saavdra﹣Aracena.The dogs regularly brought home carcasses （动物的尸体） of native birds，and 80 per cent of them harassed other animals，mainly local cattle and sheep.
The researchers asked owners to complete a standard survey about the dog﹣human bond.Then.to get the "dog's point of view"，they ran a behaviour test adapted from evaluations of children's bonds with their parents.Each dog was reunited with its owner in a new place.addressed by strangers，left alone in an unfamiliar room and given free access to a second，empty room.The team found that lower scores on the bonding test correlated with greater roaming distances.The owners of these dogs had assessed their pets' attachment to them as much stronger than the bonding tests suggested，says Saavedra﹣Aracena.Is it possible that people place too much weight on their dog's enthusiastic greetings as a sign of bonding，she says.Dogs that roamed the most often showed the most exuberant （energetic and excited） responses to seeing their owners again.They may have simply become accustomed to carrying out an "evolutionary" ritual （仪式）of bond re﹣establishment that is typical among pack members after long absences，says Saavedra﹣Aracena.
Relationships with other humans may have weakened the dog﹣owner bond in far﹣roaming dogs，she says.Neighbours sometimes give them food，and tourists hiking on the island offer walks and companionship，potentially reinforcing the roaming problem.
Outside opportunities for food，exercise and socialisation could all affect bonding，says Paul McGreevy at the University of New England in Australia.These aspects are critical to dog welfare and represent needs that must be met by its caregiver，both for building attachment and for controlling roaming behaviour."If any one of those three key resources is lacking，then the dog can be justified in going elsewhere." he says.
Although it has become less common to see roaming dogs in industrialised nations，they continue to roam freely in most societies，says Saavedra﹣Aracena.Even when owners restrain their pets，some dogs can escape their ropes.
"Unlike children who loosen bonds with their parents as they grow older，dogs can become more attached to their caregivers throughout their lives，" she says. "So，it's never too late to work on building that bond，playing with your dog and just spending time with him，getting to know him better，just like you would with a human partner."
32.From the research done by Saavedra﹣Aracena and her colleagues，we can learn that .
A.almost all the dogs were mistreated or didn't have the ability to breed.
B.the healthier the dog is，the farther it can escape.
C.most of the dogs didn't travel very far away.
D.the researchers follow the wandering dogs in the flesh.
33.The underlined word "harassed" probably means .
A.threatened B.generated C.sheltered D.avoided
34.From the passage，it can be inferred that .
A.food，sport and company are the three key factors when forming a bond with your dog
B.dog owners are more likely to consider their relationship with their dogs as close
C.the more energetically a dog responds o you，the closer the relationship you have with it is
D.dogs can become attracted by other people，which can result in them raveling farther than they otherwise would
35.The author writes the passage to .
A.inform us of the potential risks between dogs and their owners
B.remind dog owners to give more attention and time to their pet dogs
C.warn us to restrict the activities of dogs
D.present us with a piece of research that discuses how a relationship is formed between a dog and its owner

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away，they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
In Australia，many people travel．After people retire，they might buy a van and travel all over the country．36
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason，they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House sitters might have to care for pets．Also，quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning． 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country，because you go and stay in a new city，get to meet new people，and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．
38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel，and by replying to the advertisement，you can make arrangements to go and look after their home．
There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person，so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go，so you need lots of free time． 39 You need to be good with pets，able to care for cats and dogs，or other pets they may have．
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months，while the home owner travelled to Europe．
40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed．A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job．
A．I have done house sitting many times．
B．Thousands of people do this all the time．
C．It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries．
D．Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job．
E．You must take a little care over what your description says about you．
F．This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas．
G．You must have a good car，so you can travel to different parts of the country．

That way，I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well，and return to my swim.So far，it's working pretty well.所以我们可以选择如何让它影响我们，我的新策略是看着我旁边车道上的人，然后对自己说，就好像我在跟他们说话一样‘祝你游得愉快'这样的话，我就能意识到不可避免的事情，然后有意识地做出决定，祝他们好运，然后继续游泳，到目前为止，一切都很顺利。"提到游泳，陈述"我的新策略"；所以作者频繁地提到游泳，都是以游泳为例，陈述自己对于"比较"的观点和策略。故选B。
